April & Oral Cancer Awareness: The Dental Connection!

Visiting our office regularly, will not only keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy as well.  The fact is, every hour of every day in the United States, someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the the disease.  The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.  Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our valued patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.

During every regular exam and cleaning at our office, we check for oral cancer!  If you have any questions or are in need of an appointment, call our office at 918-455-0123!

God Bless,
DRT
